I play the bass guitar and a bit of six string. I have been known to do a bit of backing vocals as well, even lead sometimes if the usual singer doesn't turn up.

I've never had a guitar lesson and I've never played in a real prog band, although the first band I was in played a couple of Rush numbers.

Twice a week normally, sometimes more often or less!  

 

Fun!

Who do you look up to as a bassist?

Cheers!

This is something of a bizzare thread; I'm not sure where to put it . . .

I've always wondered how many prog fans are musicians themselves and what they play.  The stereotype of the Prog world is that we are all cape-wearing keyboardists who studied musicology with the Royal Conservatory, but I'm sure this is not the case.

So, I pose the questions:

Do you play an instrument/sing?

If you play an instrument, which one?

Have you received training?

How often do you often sing/play Progressive Rock?

What are your favourite songs to play?
